This represents a gain of 37 per cent over the same period last year and 69 per cent over the first quarter of 1924! Third largest in the world! And sales CONTINU- ING to mount week after week to new record break- ing levels. In fact, during the week ending April 24th retail sales reached the remarkable total of 9,566--the greatest single week in Dodge Brothers history! These figures are all the more significant when you realize that the gain of the industry as a whole over last year is only 12 per cent. There could be no more convincing evidence that today'sproduct is regarded as better than ever before and that the present prices make it the most im- pressive value Dodge Brothers have ever offered. ... 854.50 Sedan .......
